## Creating a virtual output

You can create virtual outputs by tapping the + button or by going to the separate [Virtual Outputs extension page](/using-routeeffect/routing/virtual-output-view.md).

## Assigning an input to a virtual output

Perform these steps to assign an input to a group of outputs collected in a virtual output.

1. Go to the `Virtual Output View` in the Routing section
2. Locate the virtual output you want to use. Swipe down to reveal a search bar allowing you to filter through the list of available virtual outputs on this video hub
3. Tap `Choose` next to the selected virtual output
4. In the list that appears, select the input you wish to assign to the virtual output

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have Take Mode enabled, you will need to confirm your selection by clicking or tapping on the blue checkmark button.
{% endhint %}

Once the input source has been chosen and/or approved, it will be assigned to all of the outputs that make up the virtual output.

## Locked outputs

If any output is locked in a virtual output, it will be skipped over during assignment of the virtual output.&#x20;
